with passion. An endless Caribbean sun shines through them,<br />

fulfilling the ancient prophecy—Mora and Striga, once trapped<br />

by the thirst of night, now forever drink in the light.<br />

Barbara Rein debuted<br />

her first book series in<br />

fourth grade, The<br />

Adventures of Cassandra<br />

McGillicuddy in Outer Space,<br />

complete with stick figures<br />

drawings. Admonished by her<br />

teacher for doing book reports on<br />

her own books (and didn't she have<br />

chutzpah), she put writing aside for<br />

years while stories piled up in her<br />

head. One day she opened her<br />

laptop and out they poured. She's now an award-winning and<br />

Amazon-best-selling author. She lives with her husband and<br />

dachshund, traveling with a well-packed suitcase between New<br />

York and Florida.<br />

Barbara writes strange, fantastical, and downright weird<br />

short stories. Darkly brilliant tales that teeter on the edge of reality.<br />

Reimagined nightmares concocted from a childhood diet of<br />

macabre fairytales and endless episodes of Twilight Zone.<br />

"Forbitten Love" is one of twenty-two stories in her book, Tales<br />

from the Eerie Canal," available at Amazon.<br />

She also writes chuckle-inducing personal essays inspired<br />

by the quirks and oddities that bounce her way.
